Any thoughts on this ? "Dream it. Plan it. Do it."

The diagonal on an NBA court along the floor is only about 105'. If you assume a 100' ceiling, that is still only a 150' diagonal distance from one corner on the floor to the opposite corner at the ceiling. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

I also see how PW will make your camera sync any faster ![]() 1D classics sync at 1/500, which is what I will be picking up. I think I'll just keep saving for the PW's, like pro. -Joseph
